The provided are a high-performance titanium connecting sealing ring for deep-sea oil drilling and production device and a processing method. The sealing ring comprises a ring-shaped ring body, wherein the center hole of the ring body is an inner circumferential surface; a ring-shaped convex plate, a platform, an inclined end surface and a flat end surface are arranged in sequence in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential surface of the ring body; and threads are processed in the inner circumferential surface. The processing method for the titanium connecting sealing ring mainly comprises the steps of preparation of titanium sponge, vacuum melting of a titanium ingot, forging and pressing, heating forging, heat treatment and machining.

An improved fastening device includes a shank portion with a first end and a second end disposed from the first end. The fastening device includes a head portion disposed adjacent the second end of the shank portion The head portion of the fastening device includes a lower perimeter adjacent the second end of the shank portion, an upper perimeter disposed away from the lower perimeter and a body portion extending between the lower perimeter and the upper perimeter. The head portion is configured to engage a standard hex-shaped socket. The lower perimeter of the head portion has a generally hex shape and the upper perimeter has a different shape than the lower perimeter.

A steel material is heated and punched while tension is applied to the steel material (2) in at least one direction along a surface of the steel material between first and second portions of the steel material distant from each other with forming unit posed therebetween. The tension is applied to increase a distance between the first and second portions of the steel material by a length corresponding to an amount by which the distance between the first and second portions of the steel material thermally expands as the steel material is heated to the temperature in the step of heating and punching. The forming unit includes a first die for punching the steel material and a second die facing the first die, the first die or the second die having a forming surface having a concave curved surface.

A drill steel includes a metal rod with an end to fit within a chuck of a drilling machine, and an integrally formed collar provided along the length of the metal rod. A ferrule is fastened on the metal rod adjacent the integrally formed collar on the side of the end of the metal rod. The ferrule forms a stop that prevents the drill steel from moving too far into the chuck.

The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a work piece, such as fasteners or flange nuts. The method produces a work piece with a thickened wall. This can be accomplished using a plurality of successive stamping dies to reduce the diameter of a cup-shaped feature drawn from a blank, and reforming the cup-shaped feature to a formed shape having a thickened wall. A fastener or flange nut with a thickened wall manufactured by stamping and forming is also disclosed.

A driver for applying torque to threaded fasteners has a plurality of teeth extending along and projecting outwardly from a longitudinal axis of a body on which the teeth are located. The teeth have a helical twist about the longitudinal axis. Each tooth has an angularly oriented engagement surface which is engageable with similarly angularly oriented surfaces within recesses in the head of a compatible fastener. When the driver engages the recesses torque applied to the driver draws the driver deeper into the recesses as the engagement surfaces react against and slide over the angularly oriented surfaces within the recesses. The torque also causes the fastener to turn and advance or retract depending upon the sense of the torque and the angles of the engagement surfaces and the angles of the surfaces within the recesses. The fastener and its method of manufacture are also disclosed.
